LOOK: Utes unveil new helmets vs. Ducks; both Oregon and Utah fans are unsure of design
The Oregon Ducks aren’t the only team in the nation that breaks out fancy uniforms and helmets each week. In fact, the Utah Utes are one of the other teams in the Pac-12 that regularly take creative licensing over their logo and color scheme, regularly coming up with alternate uniforms or helmets.
I think Oregon fans have to respect it.
This weekend, it appears the Utes will break out special hand-painted helmets for their top-15 showdown against the Ducks in Salt Lake City.
The helmets celebrate “The Muss,” which is a nod to Utah’s student fan club and athletic teams on campus. Here’s a closer look at the helmets, as well as some of the reactions to the special-edition lids on social media:

Utah’s hand-painted helmet series has been very hit or miss. I think these fall somewhere in the middle. Their 🔴🔴⚪️ uni combo for tomorrow will be close to an ideal contrast to the Ducks’ ⚫️⚪️⚫️ https://t.co/7lpAzHe3ZS

Oh, give me these!
Say whatever you want, but this is a well-done tribute to an integral part of the Rice-Eccles gameday experience.
The MUSS is a top-notch student experience, and as passionate as they come. I’m all here for MUSS appreciation. https://t.co/GbVw3USCgB

These look like an AI image generator did its best.
Which is to say, it looks like garbage. What a lame idea. Sorry Utes, this one ain't it. https://t.co/2oz5fdisRf

WAAYYYY too busy… Should have just stuck with the MUSS on both sides and got rid of the ‘3rd Down Jump’ on the back and it would have been fantastic.
I don’t hate them but I don’t love them, in the middle https://t.co/NCHusVcwmH

I like it but don’t love it. The UU side is sick with the flag but the 3rd down jump is weird looking… could be worse. https://t.co/EgKGBLFNDv

We celebrate the elite uniform matchups like last week (UO throwbacks, WSU iced out) because weeks like this are inevitable. https://t.co/cqXheZWw9G
